For that is the peculiarity of [intellectual] thought: it conceptualizes things in the same way as our normal, waking consciousness, and this consciousness is entirely bound to the tools of the brain and the rest of the body. Intellectuality is bound to the tools of the physical body. It is no wonder that this special intellectual gift was bound to a special configuration, to special organ predispositions of a people, and had to be transmitted from generation to generation through the physical blood until the mission of the ancient Hebrew people was fulfilled. Thus, the physical instrument for intellectuality had to be bound to the physical peculiarity of this people through the blood flowing from generation to generation, and had to be refined more and more until it was so refined that the physical vehicle for that spiritual power, which then poured in to a much higher degree than the Divine power into the human 'I am' - to a much higher degree than had happened through the old power of Yahweh. And in this respect, the mission of Moses was indeed the preparation for the deed of Christ. But first the outer instruments had to be trained in the appropriate way. And so we also understand that this deed of Moses was bound to a very specific people, whose blood had to be kept pure because this special power, which is bound to the instrument of the outer body, was to flow into human cultural development.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"IX.

Denn das ist das Eigentümliche des [intellektuellen] Denkens: Es faßt die Dinge so zusammen wie unser normales, waches Bewußtsein, und dieses Bewußtsein ist ganz an das Werkzeug des Gehirns und des sonstigen Leibes gebunden. Die Intellektualität ist eben an das Werkzeug des physischen Leibes gebunden. Was Wunder, daß diese besondere intellektuelle Begabung an eine besondere Konfiguration, an besondere Organanlagen eines Volkes gebunden war und durch das physische Blut von Generation zu Generation übertragen werden mußte, bis die Mission des althebräischen Volkes erfüllt war. Es mußte also das physische Werkzeug für die Intellektualität gerade durch dieses von Generation zu Generation fließende Blut an die physische Eigentümlichkeit dieses Volkes gebunden und immer mehr verfeinert werden, bis es so weit verfeinert war, daß aus diesem Volk hervorgehen konnte der physische Träger für jene geistige Macht, die sich dann in einem noch viel höheren Maße hineinergossen hat als göttliche Kraft in das menschliche «Ich-bin» - in einem viel höheren Maße, als das durch die alte Jahve-Kraft geschehen war. Und insofern war diese Mission des Moses in der Tat die Vorbereitung für die Christus-Tat. Aber es mußten erst die äußeren Werkzeuge in der entsprechenden Weise ausgebildet werden. Und so begreifen wir auch, daß diese Tat des Moses an ein ganz bestimmtes Volk gebunden war, dessen Blut rein gehalten werden mußte, weil diese besondere Kraft, die an das Instrument der äußeren Leiblichkeit gebunden ist, in die menschliche Kulturentwicklung einfließen sollte.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":273,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/69b/1911-02-13/p037"}],"english":["GA 69b/1911-02-13/p036"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":273,"en_words":285,"ratio":1.04,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.03,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":7359,"original_word_count":7120,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Knowledge and Immortality","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA069b/English/SOL2024/19110213p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
